Ping Pong Table Conversion Top

A ping pong table conversion top is used to transform a billiard or pool table into a playing surface for ping pong. Families discover this is a space saving, efficient way to enjoy both games in about the same amount of space. It’s often not possible to buy and store both a ping pong table and pool table in the same room.

Each piece of equipment is much too large. However, by using a ping pong table conversion top and placing it on top of the pool table, twice the fun can be had.

Some kits come with the play accessories needed such as the net, paddles and balls. The thickness of the top may vary. By choosing a thicker over a thinner size, you could enjoy your table top for a longer period of time and avoid cracking. You will also want to consider where you will use your ping pong table conversion top.

If you plan on taking the fun outside, then you will want to buy one that has been weatherized so that it can uphold the changing seasons in your region. One tip is to take the top indoors or store it properly when not in use, that way you can add some years to its use.

Before ordering your ping pong table conversion top, be sure that you measure the surface that you will be placing the top on. If you have an oversized table or billiard table, you will want to be sure that the conversion top that you choose will cover it. Also, be aware of the bracket placement that is used for the nets.

Some models have a clamp style where you would need to have access underneath to tighten the net, while some models have a design that eliminates this need. Depending on what surface you are placing your conversion top on, one may be better suited.

Some manufacturers are KillerSpin, Butterfly, Stiga, and even Minnesota Fats. Be sure to measure not only the size you need to cover your table, but also the space in the room to be sure that the players have room to maneuver.

This is usually not a problem if you are covering a pool table, since space for the pool sticks has already be taken into account. All in all, a ping pong table conversion top could be a smart way to expand your activities.
